Ministry In The Mess

Romans 8:28 is one of the most famous and quoted verses in all of Scripture. All things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to His purpose. In this message, All Things Are Working, we look at 3 hopes the believer has in the midst of suffering. 

Your new life in Christ is marked by three new characteristics that the Apostle Paul brings out in Romans 8:12-17: In Christ, you have a new instigation, a new identity and a new inheritance. Because of this, believers are called to fight sin in the Spirit while realizing that their Heavenly Father desires an intimate love relationship with them that is real and personal. 

In this message from Romans 8:1-11, we look at three aspects of our salvation. First, our justifcation means that we have been saved from the penalty of our sin. Second, our sanctification means that we are being saved from the power of sin. One day, we will be saved from the very presence of sin. What a great salvation we have through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

In Romans 7, Paul reveals the real struggle believers face with sin. Paul shows that even as Christians, our flesh battles our desire to follow God. The law exposes what is wrong with us, but it cannot cure us. Only Jesus brings rescue, grace, and victory. As Paul reaches the end of himself declaring, "What a wretched man I am!" he asks "Who can rescue me?" Thank God for Jesus!

In this message from Romans 6:11-23, Paul tells believers what they need to remember when sin tries to rear its ugly head in their daily lives. Remember your identity. Remember your power. Remember your Master. And remember your destination. When we forget these things, we tend to live our lives like we are still captive to sin. When we remember these things, we experience the freedom of being in Christ.

This Easter message from Romans 6:6-11 declares that the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of everything we believe, proving He is who He claimed and that His death truly secured our forgiveness. Because Jesus lives, sin’s power is broken and believers are no longer enslaved to their old selves. Through Christ, we are made new—dead to sin and alive to God—called to live daily in the freedom, identity, and victory secured by the empty tomb.

Palm Sunday exposes the tension of the human heart—quick to praise Jesus one moment and wander the next—and Romans 6:1–5 answers that tension with one powerful truth: in Christ, we are not just forgiven, we are made new. This message centers on the big idea that grace is not permission to keep sinning but power to live transformed, because through Jesus’ death and resurrection, our old self is gone and we are now free to walk in a completely new life.

Romans 5:12–21 contrasts two representatives of humanity. Through one man, Adam, sin entered the world, bringing condemnation and death to all. But through one Man, Jesus Christ, grace overflowed, offering righteousness, justification, and life. 

What if you could know with confidence that God truly loves you—and that your salvation is secure? In this message from Romans 5:6–11, we explore how the cross and resurrection provide unshakable proof of God’s love. Long before we had our lives together, Christ died for us. Because of His finished work, we move from fear to assurance and from guilt to joy. Discover how the gospel gives believers lasting security and deep, unshakable hope.

In Romans 5, Paul tells us the result of being justified by faith in Jesus Christ: perfect peace. For the believer, peace with God is an objective reality, not a subjective feeling. With justification, God moves us from wrath to peace, from judgement to grace, from hopeless to hopeful, and from shame to love.
